Abstract

In at least some embodiments, a multicast communication system includes sender and a plurality of receivers in communication with the sender. The sender is configured to multicast a data packet to the plurality of receivers. The plurality of receivers are configured to acknowledge the data packet received from the sender based on weakest member selection without a sender-side competitive time window.
